“Fun filled weekend in lovely house in great location”

Reviewed 12 May 2016
for a stay in May 2016

The spacious, beautiful house more than lived up to the photos and was a perfect setting for our school reunion. The house is located in a great spot for dining out, so many restaurants to chose from in walking distance.We were lucky to have beautiful weather and sat on the terrace sipping wine and went punting on the river by Magdelan Bridge.Thank you to the owner Lee for being so welcoming and helpful and for letting us stay in your lovely house we will be recommending it to our friends.

As a group of Mum's away for a long weekend, we wanted something practical but cozy, comfortable and a tad luxurious - central but not noisy and near enough to activity so we didn't have to walk too far but could venture out when we wanted - and to feel safe (ie for it to be in a 'nice' area) - this house ticked every single box for us and we weren't disappointed when we turned up either (phew!!!)

Had a fab weekend here and Lee (the owner) was lovely, friendly and so helpful with all our queries before, during and after our stay too.

2 bedrooms upstairs are double beds and near to each other. The other is a sofa bed in the downstairs basement area. Every single room has an ensuite so no waiting for each other (handly with 6 ladies!!!!)

Outings: We ventured into Oxford and did a chauffeured punt ride which was lovely (by the Magdalen Bridge) - ate out at the Chiang Mai Kitchen on the Sat night - then popped into the 'Be at One' Cocktail bar (near the house) on the way home. Can recommend the lovely walk by the River to the 'Head of the River' pub where we ate a Sunday Roast on the Sunday!

Fab weekend made even better by staying in a gorgeous house.

This house is in a perfect location to walk into Oxford - takes about 10 minutes. The secure parking was a definite bonus. Apart from going to Blenheim Palace and taking the children to the swimming pool we didn't need to use the car at all. As commented previously the house is a bit quirky but having said that it is very comfortable and relaxing. The beds were comfortable. The huge TV with Netflix was a definite hit with the children. The house was lovely and warm being heated by a huge Aga in the kitchen. The downstairs room was a bit chilly for the children but we just put an extra duvet on their bed. Had we put the heating on we would have roasted! We didn't need to make up the log fire. There is a very pretty courtyard at the back but, being the end of October, the weather wasn't suitable for sitting out. We were a group of 4 adults and 2 children aged 8 and 10. Lee was exceptionally helpful and accommodating and we will definitely go back there again should the opportunity arise. Thank you Lee.

Lee gave us a warm welcome. Her home is specious and well equipped. Parking is nearby but a car is not required if your just visiting the city. The location of the property is within walking distance from the city and there are bars and restaurants close by too.
